We’ve got an ex hurricane, very unusual for this time of year, in January, to have a hurricane in the Atlantic! Now it is moving away from the UK so it’s not going to directly affect us. It’s heading up towards Greenland in fact. But this ex hurricane, what that’s doing is adding extra energy into the jet stream which is the driving force of our weather at the moment. That in turn is adding extra complications to the computer models that generate the forecast for the weather here across the UK…..

The long distance swell created by Hurricane Alex’s northward dash across the North Atlantic arrived on the north coast of Soggy South West England yesterday afternoon. Here’s the view that greeted me when I arrived at Widemouth Bay in North Cornwall:

Whilst I was surfing Alex’s swell Southern Greenland was as warm as Soggy South West England, and much windier for a while!
